The Old Man had to Wait.

! On Michigan Central tr.in lie
other day, as the butcher came into
the car with II basket of oranges, an
old man, whose wife sat beside him
was very anxious to buy half loz-
en-, but she waved the boy on
with:

eats one without the juice running
down on his shirt BOSOM"
"Shoo but l want two or three,
Hanner," he protested.
you behave yourself You want
to get cramps and raise a great row,
don't your"
The boy soon returned with box
ed figs, and the old man beckohed
to him and began to lick his chops.
Pass right ON, said the woman
to the boy. "He haint eat a fig for
thirty years, and guess he can 50
thirty more"
The boy passed on and returned
with peanuts. The old man was
ready for him, but the wife protest
ed:
lie can't eat 'em. It's been ten
years since he had II tooth in his
head, and he'd have to swallow EN-
whole. No, Reuben, you let pea
nuts alone"
Twenty minntes later the boy was
back with candy packages in which
there were prizes, and the old man
exclaimed
"I'll hey one O. them or bust r.
"Then you'll bust, she replied, as
she motioned the boy to pass on.
"Its agin the Lord and law to take
chances, an you wouldn't git moth
ing nohow."
But I'm going to buy suthin,'

"Well, you wait. You can't have
ice cream nor lemonade, and, if he
comes with pop corn or buttermilk
don't you dare to raise a fuss. Just
you wait. Well be in Detroit at 6
o'clock, and then if there happens to
be a grocery handy by, you can buy
six herrings for five cents. Her
rings is something to stand by you,
Reuben, and the heads and tails

for warts. We've got too old for

Give Them A Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavaties leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, pneumonia, catarrh,
coniumption or any of the family of
throat and nose and head and lung OBJ
structions, all are bad. All ought to be
got rid of. There is just one sure way
to get rid of them. That is to take

In the village of Meyrin Canton
of Geneya) Switzerland, some disus-
ed wells have been hermetically seal

well by which the internal airis put

A Disguised countryman-

A New York man was showing
friend from the country the sights Of

in the ncighborhood Of Chambers
street. The New Yorker stopped his
friend and said:
aThis is what is called the great
dry goods section of New York:
Within Il comparatively narrow
circle there are sS0,OOO,000, worth Of
dry goods
A loud explosion interrupted his
remarks.
"What is that?" exclaimed the
countryman, in surprise, "blowing
up Hell Gate again?"
"That? Oh, yes, | see. An explo-
sion in fireworks store. We often
have them. Hope nobody is killed.

citedly.
"Ycs, and you'll see the whole

"But why does the Mayor allow

"They do it, anyhow"
"Well, that beats me-" said the
countryman.
There was another explosion just
then, filling the air with rockets,

COALVILLE CHIPS.

a DIsAGREEABLE wind has been blow
ing almost constantly for the past five
weeks.
LAST SATURDAY and Sunday our
quarterly conference was held here with
an average attendance.
REGISTRATION Is progressing slowly.
The majority take the oath without any
conjunction. Some, however, brand
it as an Infringement upon their liberty
and indignantly refuse, while others
take it after loud protestations.
A. L. SMITH, our County assessor ard
collector, has been quite feeble for some
time. Although the tax-gatherer is an
unpopular official because he touches
the vulnerable spot of the American
his pocketbook-We would be pleased to
see him completely restored.
The HEBER City Baseball Club arrived
here last Friday for the purpose of en-
gaging in q friendly game with the
Coalvllle Club. They returned, however,
without obtaining an opportunity of
displaying their powers. a vague, wild
rumor says that something unpleasant
occurred; that there was mutual chal-
lenges. disres pectful illusions, passion
ate effusions, etc. Ali followed by the
quick mlgrauon or the Heber City
birds southwark.
The PUBLICATION Of the details OF the
killing of Kirkland, and also OF the
subsequent investigation by the coro-
ner's jury and grand jZry has met with
response. A telegram was received
here from 8 brother of the deceased
Rev. a. 81. Kirkland, of Chicago, ask
ing for the particulars of the killing
and q description OF the deceased.
After some corresponding with the
chief OF police in the city Of Brooklyn
he succeeded in discovering the mother
OF Kirkland IN that city and impaired
to her the news of her sons death
Thus, perhaps, while she was joyfulIy
anticipating the return of her son at
some future day, the poor unfortunate
Tanderer had passed into eternity.

Movements OF the Little Giant-The
Midland.

The directors OF the D. 4 E. g. Rail
way returned from their tour OF inspec-
ton over the road last nisht; and the
gentlemen who came from the east will
return 10 their homes tonight, all the
important business having been trans
acted at the sessions held during the
tour over the read. The adoption OF q
standard guage TO principal points in
the State. Is probably the most impor-
TAM move on the part OF the directors,
but they have also transacted other
affairs, which insures an aggressive pol
icy, which viii put the road on very
substantial basis

sTANpARp eUAeE ApoPTED.

At the meeting held at the Springs
yesterday morning, the directors de-
cided 70 standard guage their line from
Pueblo TO LeadTiIle and Red Cliff, by
laying a third rail, and from Red Cliff
70 Aspen TO build broad guage road,
giving them standard guage line from
Denver and Pueblo TO Aspen. This is a
splendid stroke Of policy, and places the
Rio Grande n a position to meet all
competitors, and obtain their full share
OF the business Of the State.
1t is also their mention TO continue
the standard gauge line TO Grand juno
ton and the Utah border, where they
viii unite with the Rio Grande Western,
which viii in all probability lay a third
rail to Ogden, thereby giving the Rio
Grande system broad gague connec-
ton On al the important points on their
line.
This action on the part of the direct
ors gives evidence Of their sppreciatiDg
the railroad situation IN the state and
that they propose that the Denver and
Bio Grande shall retain its place at the
head of the railroad procession in Colo
Iado.
Extensive orders have been given for
the equipment to be run on the broad
gauge line. The latest style of passen
ger coaches, Pullman sleepers and Buff
fet cars have been adopted. New and
powerful freight and passenger locomo-
tives are under contract, and orders
have been given for heavy steel rails
and iron bridges for the entire distance
from Denver to Aspen.
